Raffiné takes the best of the Heritage and innovates further to deliver a shoe with enhanced lines, built in noise reduction and better arch support. The contoured heel construction and shorter outsole of the Raffiné create an elegant line closely following the natural shape of the foot while en pointe. The reinforced satin provides durability and minimises noise. Available in two insole options, classic and arch support - those seeking more support while en pointe. An ideal shoe for students and professionals alike.
Features
Excess material has been removed from the heel and a shorter outsole has been used to allow the shoe to follow the natural line of the heel more closely while en pointe
The arch support insole option provides additional support in the arch of the foot while still allowing for the full articulation of a classic insole.
Additional layering through the pleats and platform base provides up to 8 times more insulation from noise
Reinforced satin material is stronger and longer lasting than traditional satins and helps to reduce wrinkles providing an overall smoother look.
Removable internalfoamcushions for the toe box for added comfort if the dancer chooses

Have been really looking forward to trying bloch’s etu pointe shoes and flexus, I came from Dublin so I could get fitted in a shoe that suits my narrow feet, my fitter let me come in early and was really amazing and patient, she let me try the shoes I wanted but also had an amazing suggestion which turned out to be my perfect shoe! I left with two different pairs of pointe shoes that I love. Best shoes I’ve tried in my career, amazing experience at Bloch!
